High Availability (HA) and Disaster Recovery (DR) have bread interpretation within the industry. Some consider them in the literal sense where they mean a plan and supporting technologies that address a partial or complete site loss due to a disaster caused by fire or power outage, or natural causes like flood, hurricane, or earthquake. Others consider HA & DR to include protecting from server or application outages, down to even the simplest loss of data from accidental deletion or change or malicious attack like virus or other malware.
To accommodate the widest range of customer scenarios, this tool was created to encompass the broadest interpretation of high availability and disaster recovery.
The global recession, increased competition requiring just-in-time processes, squeezed information technology (IT) budgets, explosive data growth, and new regulatory requirements have all increased the importance of disaster recovery (DR). As a result, organizations are now under pressure to create, re-evaluate and update their disaster recovery plans.
Looking across the DR industry today, there are hundreds of solutions whose value should be measured in three ways: cost, performance and risk.
In most enterprises today, personal data such as last name, social security number, date of birth and so on seems to proliferate across multitude of databases. It is the responsibility of the custodian of that data to protect the "Personally Identifiable Information (PII)" for reasons varying from compliance to privacy protection. Various techniques are now prevalent to protect the personal information. Data de-identification is one such most commonly employed technique. This paper aims to share insights that help Data Custodians in an enterprise, Security Auditor, Risk and Compliance Group, Data Security Subject Matter Expert and the curious minds of the database world.

But with recovery comes fierce competition, as companies around the world rush to emerging markets to supplement delayed prospects for growth in developed markets. As competition heats up, companies that are able to make good decisions quickly and bring them to action are likely to have an edge on their peers. Our recent study among senior finance and IT executives in Asia/Pacific suggests that companies have been taking steps to ensure that they not only have access to the right information, but also have good decision-making processes in place in preparation for the emerging recovery.
